About: Matthew Funk

Profile:  Who is Matthew Funk? I’m a human being who is devoted to making the most of the human experience and recognize that freedom and justice are the underlying components necessary. As Thomas Paine wrote, “He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” I am in awe at the philosophical, social, scientific, technological and economic progress that free minds and free markets brought about in the inception of America. When the Progressive Era brought about the politics of envy and fostered great divisions amongst the American populace, this spirit began to wane. Subsequent leaders have gotten increasingly socialistic and divisive, killing the very spirit that made this nation what it was. I am a philosophical warrior devoted to do my part to reverse the trend and make sure that reason, justice, individualism and freedom are restored.
